Summer, recipes and cleaning tips

It seems like forever since I've posted anything! More than a month to be exact. We have been pretty busy up until yesterday. I have been cleaning and organizing each room of the house. It has taken quite a while and will definitely be an ongoing process, but each day is more gratifying and less crazy.... if that's possible.
Along with the 10 minutes that we clean each day as a family, I have 4 white laundry baskets in the family room that throughout the day, anything I find that belongs to that person goes into their basket along with any clean laundry. They are responsible for taking care of the items in the basket by dinner time or before if it is full. They need to bring the basket back and the items need to be put away, not just put on their bed, floor, chair etc. They love this idea and it has worked VERY well for us. If you need a cleaning helper, I suggest trying this at least for a week.
I have also been on a quest for new recipes. Snacks, dinner, bread etc. I have found quite a few good ones including some for paints, sidewalk chalk, laundry detergent, playdough.. all the fun necessities of life. I will try to post them this afternoon. Our new favorite is Reese's Peanut Butter Squares that are NO BAKE and taste EXACTLY like a Reese's peanut butter cup from the store. They are so easy that with supervision the kiddos could make them!
I hope all is well in the lives of any readers and wish you a happy and fun day:) ENJOY!!!!
